Want to replace my speaker cables

See my system. I suspect that my speakers cables are my weak spot. I need about a 15 foot run because all the gear is on the right side of the room. I bought the Nordost years back primarily because it seemed it was OK, and even more importantly, it was flat so I could put it under an area rug. I still need a relatively flat cable as running under the floor isn't an option.

I'm not in the bright/hyper detail camp. Prefer warm, full, solid bass and midrange glow.

Maybe I should just keep my cables?

Suggestions please?

15 feet isn't that long. If you are not having any problems with your current cables, keep them.

Which Nordost cables do you have. They have a lot of new cables that you might like better than what you have

Huh? Given that comment, I am surprised that you are happy with your Nordost speaker cables. I have always found Nordost to be extremely fast and revealing, but too thin and sterile sounding for my tastes. If you like the Analysis Plus interconnect, maybe you could try some AP speaker cables too. Just about any other cable line will offer warmer, fuller sound than Nordost.

I guess this is why I want to replace these cables- I don't generally want to swap out anything that I am satisfied with.

On a side note my observation about Nordost is that the pricier the Nordost the more hyper detailed. My Nordost cables are or were at the entry level line, and to my ears, were more balanced that some higher priced ones. For instance I once tried another Nordost- Red Dawn I think, and found it not to my liking at all.
